Ducted air conditioning in Wellington
Ducted systems suit Wellington loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Inland West Midlands towns can see sharp summer peaks, and the same system doubles as an efficient heater in winter.
In an older house in Wellington, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. Wellington lies roughly 3 miles from Telford, and we cover it as part of Shropshire. Coverage includes TF1.
Prices in Wellington
In the West Midlands, our guide range for ducted air conditioning is £5,345–£14,645 per system, including VAT. It sits near the middle of UK prices. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. On our West Midlands figures, the Zoned option (motorised dampers or two units for separate floors or room groups) is about £7,295–£10,745.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. Surveys in Wellington cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
